EDITORIAL: Workplace harmony pays
The call by Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan on the importance of cultivating and maintaining harmony at the workplace is highly commendable.
Ms Hassan made the call when addressing civil servants in Rombo District on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro on Saturday as part of her five-day inspection tour of Kilimanjaro Region.
It is generally acknowledged that a good and harmonious working environment is one where all workers are treated with dignity and respect, and where no worker is subjected to harassment for utterance or conduct relating to, say, religious, political or other affiliation.
Creating a harmonious work environment among individuals at the workplace – as well as between management and employees, and between employers and employees – presents an exciting opportunity for personal development every which way.
Besides, creating and nurturing harmonious working relationships at the workplace does not cost much beyond having the right mindset and all-round goodwill.
In that regard, we applaud the Vice President in all sincerity for that noble and timely public call. This is not only in the interests of the working community in Rombo District, but also in the interests of all working communities countrywide – in both the public and private sectors.
